He showed tremendous heart in his fight with Lennox Lewis, and he did show desire, ... He proved he was a champion. I really respect this man. I really feel like he can hurt me if I come with any less than my A-plus game.

I'm going to bloody him up, swell him up and punish him. He can't just lay on the outside and beat me on the outside, so he's got to come in. When he comes in, I'm going to punish him. He'll be a bloody mess in the first round if he stands in front of me.

I'm going to bloody him up, swell him up and punish him.

I feel like we're right on schedule,

I've been working and working for this fight. This is the end of the road for me if I can't beat Klitschko. If that happens, I'll congratulate the man and move on to another chapter in my life.

This is like fighting a bully. When you stand up and fight back like you're not scared, the air goes right out of them. He'll be scared of me.
